“I'm from Louisiana and have a deep appreciation for Cajun and zydeco music. After backing the project I began communicating with the creator, Ron Stanford, and found out he had visited a dance hall in the town where my dad grew up! Ron's book documents the Cajun music and dance scene beautifully; my dad was able to bring the book to his hometown and reminisce with some folks about those dancin’ days.”
